Strip

Open your eyes Open your ears Open your mouth Open your hands Open your mind Open your heart They are all things that are doable by man Judgement has taken on human form He's running amuck throughout our land Putting fear in many people that cross his path Causing death and destruction anywhere he can Don't let judgement strip you of your self esteem Don't let him strip you of your pride Don't let judgement strip you of your voice Or embed self hatred in your mind Let judgement know that you will be your authentic self Tell him you will not stop or be silent this time And that regardless of his threats of verbal and physical abuse Living your truth is not something you will bury inside
